The End of the Polish Insurrection, WARSAW, Aug. 5. The final scene of a melancholy drama was played to an end to-day. Tne last chief of the celebrated Polish National Government and four of its mem bers died this morning upon the gallows. The un fortunate victims were Itoinuald Trangutt, a dis charged Russian colonel ; Krajewski, an architect ; Joseph Toczyski, a bookkeeper; Zulinski, a teacher, at the Gymnasium ; and Johann Jezioranski, a tax collector ; ail young men, none over 30 years of age. Originally 21 men and four women were sentenced to death by the military tribunals, but the Viceroy pardoned 17 of the men and all the women. It must not be imagined, however, that the objects of Count Berg's clemency have much reason to con gratulate themselves, for their sentences have been commuted partly into many years of labour in the Siberian mines, partly to shorter periods of confine ment in fortresses in the same bleak and inhospit able country. The official Dziennik of yesterday gives a detailed account of the whole prosecution, and furnishes many interesting particulars of the manner in which the insurrec,ionary government was carried on. fhe following are extran , s " Owing to the discoveries made by the Military Investigation Committee, and the increased activity of the Warsaw police., numbers of persons concerned in the revolutionary organisation were arrested at the beginning of the year, and an extensive revolu tionary correspondence was seized. Upon inspec tion of the documents and examination of the pri soners further arrests were undertaken, which, com bined with information already obtained, rendered it possible to gain possession of the chiefs of the insurrection. The investigation which then took place brought to light the main details of the orga nisation, and the action of the secret society, or, so-called, National Government, standing at the head of the movement. " The National Government operated by means of a special central organisation in Warsaw, and of local administrations in the eight woywodeships into which the rebels had divided the kingdom of Poland. Up to October 10, 1863, the Government was composed only of a small council, the oomposi• tion and arrangement of which was veiled in the deepest mystery. After that date an entire change took place, one chief being recognised as the imme diate and independent leader of the entire revolu tion. This chief was the discharged Lieutenant• Co:onel Romuald Traugutt, formerly leader of an insurgent corps in Lithuania. After the dispersion of his followers he fled to Cracow, whence be went to Warsaw, ostensibly as a traveller for a mercantile firm, under the assumed name of Michael Czarneehe. " The Warsaw central organisation, as chief organ of the revolutionary Government, was com posed of six departments, under different heads— Interior, 'War, Treasury, Foreign Affairs, Public Press, and Pollee. In addition to its chief, each department had a u2rtain number of subordinate officials and a secretary. Following out the prin ciple adopted in the entire organisation, the mem b:ra of which each department was composed were unknown to its chief, and of the chiefs themselves most were strangers to one anwher. The local administrations in the woywodeships, whose mem bers were known through the various (1( diL.- tributed among the people, consisted-1, of com missioners possessing certain powers ; 2, of the civil chiefs of the woywodeships ; 3, chiefs of circles, towns, and communes," &c. The Dziennik, then gives in some detail a resume of the operations of the National Government to the 10th of October, 1863, the date of Trangutt assuming the chief direction of affairs, and cm tinues The great family of the Podsnaps, the hig'oer polite people of this kind of inductive science, are in said woe at the poor, much-to-be-pitied inoffen sive people in the parks who sleep on the grass. But political economy explains how it is so. We treat the poor by rigid, cast-iron statistics as mere stocks or stones. If it can be ehown by Mr. Gladstone's inductions that each unit of the population consumes more claret and cigars this year than last ; that the tonnage of export trade (the standing joke in Ire land or Scotland) also in some decimal or logarithm bigger—no matter that the tonnage is for emigrant ships, or poor Podge or Smith in the park never touch cigars or claret, high-priced tobaccos, or hair powder for servants—the induction of Bacon or Whewell, the s tatistical fact of improvement remains. But Prince Albert showed that inductive philcsaphy is not at all adapted to such social cr paysiaa - sical science ; that as now talked in the schools B icon is a caricature; that such science is the key of mere physical discovery—it will do for chemical anal7sis or calculation of an eclipse, brit not in calculating social, medical, biological, or such problems; that hasty generalisation or ieductom is the bane of all our smaller every-day philo sophies, and that what is eminently the hey of biological, nr:alical, poor-law social, life insurance, or such problems, is the deductive method, or cc' m poring one group of facts with another group. Are the poor better off because cotton is less Chun dant, because railways in London arc knocking down their poor habitations by hundreds, emigrant ships crowded, families broken up, or because coroners' inquests make money for coroners in Bethnal-green ; and " fashion," with the flimsiness of a moth flying at a candle, runs after Paris silks rather than Spitalfields goods ? Duradrearyism and fashion in excelsis, with Parliamentary loges rithms and decimals, and the oli tuning of our orchestra that " passeth all understanding," till one begins to detest the word science. Prince Albert and men like Victor Hugo evidently do not look on the poor as sticks or stocks, to be treated by the inductive science; or that excellent American who gave half a million to the London poor. As to what effect " fashion " may have, I hays been told by several wholesale merchants in that line, that Spitalfields silks are all the rage as the best in Paris shops, but would not be looked at in the shops of Regent -street ; but that actually it is common to make silks of the very best kind at Bethual-green or Spitalfields, send them to Paris, and bring them back to Regent -street or Oxford. street with the Paris mark on them, when Dar:. drearyism and fashion will go into hysterics over them. This thing has ruined all the trade in all the chief towns of Ireland. Take one, Limerick or Cork, known for brushes, gloves, &c. The very best in the world are made in there two towns, but they must be sent to Paris, and come back to Dublin or London, like the Spitalfields silks. The deductive logic looks into these things, reasons on them, know ing that in such butterfly flights of fashion, shifting as the wind, the people are thrown out of employ ment; but the logarithms of induction say it is all right, as the tonnage of emigration is increased. So induction says a man dies of chloroform by diseased heart; deduction says it is exactly the opposite, and says so correctly. Induction tells such a man's life ought not to be insured for his family; deduction shows such an induction is ab.. solute trash, and so on. Induction is most excellent for eclipse calculations, though Bacon does not know it, and does not use the word at all as usually copied from one silly book to another. By induc tion, as Emerson well puts it, one man in ten thousand ought to marry his grandmother or eat old shoes because some units of the population at Colney Hatch do so. But, finally, what I hold is this, that up to the time of the late Aamented Prince Consort's speech at Aberdeen, and a speech by Liebig, this distracted, eternal dull tuning of the orchestra of English science went on, leaving our schools, like Eton, Rugby, Harrow, the deria sion of Europe; French and German science tra vestied ; Bacon a sort of wooden saint, Worshipped and even now never read or quoted, except as l a di es for fashion quote Balzac or purchase F renc h silks. " From.this period several heads of departments into personal communication with Trangutt, whom they visited at his lodgings in the house of Helene Kirkow, in Smola.- street. Trangutt also fre• quently went to the officials to make arrangements with them. These meetings of the chiefs ceased in January. 1864, after the capture of various mem bers. Thenceforth the communication between the different diplomatists was carried on through female agents. "The investigation proved that, besides Trail. gutt, the chief personages of the revolutionary organisation were the following :-1. Secretary of State, the architect Janowski. 2. The heads of d-partments—lnterior, R. lirsjewski, noble, aged 29; his secretaries, T. Burzynski and G. Paprocki ; Treasury, Joseph Toczyski, a bookkeeper, formerly banished, aged 37, his secretaries, Ilmiki, a noble, aged 50, and Su cameki, noble, aged 19 ; War, Galp. zowaki, falsely called Golkowicz, Russian, a mili tary man ; Foreign Affairs, Dunagowski, pastor of St. John's Church; his secretary, Wolynski, also a clergyman ; Public Press, Waclaw Prybylski, for merly teacher at the Wologodzki Gymnasium ; his secretary, Bognslawski, a noble, aged 25 ; Police, Pinkowski, teacher at the Gymnasium; Wazkowski, town captain, the son of a Warsaw citizen. 3. The head of the publication department. B iron Zulinski ; his secretaries and assistants, A. lit zeki, a noble, aged 25; R. Frankowcki, student at the Warsaw High School, a noble, aged 24 ; E. Trvebsecki, a noble, aged 25; C. Hants, of Warsaw, aged 20. 4. The Commissioner of Ways and Roads, J. Jezior anski, a noble, aged 30. 5. M. Dobiecki, a n aged 26, teacher at the 33 District School in War saw. " These persons, with several culpable in a less degree, had incurred the penalty of death, but his Excellency confirmed the sentence to that effect passed by the court-martial only in the cases of the condemned men Trangatt, Krajewski, Toczyski, Zulinski, and Jeztoranski. The sentences of the other prisoners were commuted by his Excellency, by virtue of the authority placed in his hands, in linaiki's case to 15 years' hard labour in the mines, Dyborcki to 12 years, and eight of the others to 10 years' confinement in Siberian fortresses, each pri. saner incurring the loss of all civil rights. "The court-martial also found Johann Muklano. wicz. Helena Kirkow, the sisters Emilia and Bar bara Gaza wsks, and Anna Wroblewska, guilty of having illegally aided and abetted the rebels. For this offence Madame Kirkow Mecklanowicz, and the Glzawskas were condemned to loss of civil rights and bard labour in the factories, the former for eight years, the others for six. Anna Wrobiewske, also losing her civil rights, was sentenced to trans portation to Siberia. The present and futnre pro perty of the criminals was also confiscated to the use of the State." O'CONNELL'S EFFIGY BURNED IN BELFAST.--• On l‘lnday night the effigy o f D an i el O ' Connell was burned on the Boyne Bridge —the name given to the new railway bridge, by the Sandy. row men. There were certainly upwards of 40,000 persons present, and every in dignity was wreaked on the effigy of the man whose memory was commemorated in quite another way in Dublin on Monday. The burning mass was elevated on the bridge while the train conveying the excursionists from Dublin passed under it. The vast crowd separated peaceably im mediately after. A number of the county and local consta bulary were present. under Head Constable Rankin and Chief Constable Maietrick. On Tuesday night the burn ing of the effigy, which occurred the previous evening, wag followed up by the burning of a coffin which was fillpPOßel to contain the ashes et the effigy, A very large crowd gathered, and, having first proceeded to Friar's Bush bury• ing ground, where they were denied admittance, trey returned back to Sandy-row. A iull-mounted ecttut was procured, and after parading about with it for some time they set fire to it and threw it into the Blackstaff. Durin g the proceedings the music of fife and drum, and cheers, were heard. Some person originated a rumour that Christ Church was being wrecked by the Pound-street p ar t y, and , a rush was ma d e t o protect t h e building, alarm, how ever, was discovered to be false, and after some more cheer ing, the very large crowd dispersed q t ax ,s tly,—.Velfast Zretcs Letter. The five persons condemned to death were exe cuted upon the glacis of the fortress this morning, although a pardon was hoped for to the Dist mo ment. They stepped upon the scaffold firmly, and underwent their fate with perfect resignation aria composure, in presence of an immense crowd of ex cited spectators. Thus perished the latest victims of the ill-judged and ill-fated Polish rising of 1863. PRINCE NAPOLEON IN INVEENESS.—On Monday evening Prince Napoleon, the Princess Murat, Count Ferra Pisani, and other members of the Prince's suite, arrived in Inverness by train from the South, and took up their abode in the Caledonian Hotel.

LATEST BETTING ON THE COURSE, EBOR HANDICAP. 4to 1 agst East Lancastnre (taken) 7to I agst Caller Ou (taken) 10 to 1 agst llytnettus (taken) British Archaeological Association, IPswlcii, Thursday. It had been arranged that on Wednesday an excursion should be made to Colchester, where a large party of ladies and gentlemen arrived by special train shortly after 10 o'clock. They at once proceeded to the Council Chamber, where they were received by the mayor (Major Bishop), Mr Papillon, M.P. for the borough, and several members of the corporation. After the formal reception a paper was read by the Rev. C. H. Hartshorne on the population and taxation of Colchester. Ie the year 1301 a tax of a 15th was levied on the personal property of the inhabitants, and Mr Harts horne gave soma interesting instances of the value of pro perty possessed by the middle classes of that time—very few had money, and the value of the goods possessed by most was very small. In 1301 the number of householders was 389. now the population was 23,809; the tax of a 15th in 1301 produced £34 12s 4d, while in 1807 the taxation of Colchester amounted to £4,758. On leaving the town-halt the company walked to that point in the ancient Roman walls of the town called the Balkon-hill, where there are the remains of a gateway and guardhouse, which Mr Hartshorne described as one of the moat perfect specimens of Roman masonry in the town, and perhaps in England. After leaving the Balkon.gate they walked along the old Roman walls, which still rise many feet above the road running outside them, till the ruins of the old castle were reached. In the room now devoted to the purposes of a library, in the keep of the castle, the Rev. C. Hartab.)rne read a paper on the castle, in the course of which he stated that the keep was all that remained of the building, and it was formerly surrounded by a fosse, which might have been the work of the Romans or of a much later period, The tower was octagonal in shape, and was constructed of flint, and Roman bricks, with facings of Caen stone. Mr Harts horne laid the date at which the castle was erected at before the year 1130, and, among other observations he made on the building and its history, said though the keep was larger than those of other Norman castles in England, it was not of so greet a height as the majority, but tae vaulting was more extensive than was usually the case. A recent writer had asserted that the castle was Roman; but there was no portion which could be attributed to an earlier period than the Norman conquest, though the materials used in its construction were partly Roman bricks, taken, no doubt, from demolielv d Raman works in the neighbourhood. Atter some conversation, all who toots part in which agreed with Mr Hartshorne that the castle was Norman, the museum, containing some interesting remains, and the extensive vaults under the castle were examined. The ruins of St. Botolph's Abbey were next visited. This abbey (originally dedicated to St. Julien and St. Botolph) was founded in the beginning ot the 12th century by a monk named Inulph, who was the first prior. There are scarcely any remains of the abbey except those of the Abbey church, in the ruins of which the massive round Norman columns attract the attention. The west fr ,nt is well known as a most beautiful specimen of Norman architecture, the ornamentation consisting chiefly of interlacing arches. The principal doorway is exceedingl3 handsome. Here a paper descriptive of the history of the abbey was read by Mr E. Roberts, F.S.A., who also acted as cicerone to the gateway, which is all that remains of the ancient Aabey of St J, , lan, which was founded in 1095 or 1096, and finished in 1120. The gateway, however, is of a much later date, being of not very early perpendicular style. Nat far from St. John's Abbey is a plain old church dedicated to St. Giles, which contains the tomb ot Sir C. Lucas and Sir George Lisle, who held Colchester Castle for some time against the Parliamentary army under Sir Thomas Fairfax, and who, when at length the stronghold was taken, were shot. The only other place which time would permit the party to visit was the Church of the Holy Trinity, which has a square tower, built of old Roman material,, about which there is a doubt whether it is Saxon or Norman work. The supporters of the theory that it is Saxon point to a doorway with a triangular arch in the west wall of the tower, but Mr Roberts expressed his opinion that it was Norman nevertheless. Mr Ciodwin, however, differed, and said he could see no reason why it should not have been built before the CeLquest, and even,ually it was gmerally agreed that it was either Saxon or very early Norman. The corporation of Colchester had hospitably entertained the members of the association at the Town-hall, at which the mayor presided, and of which considerably more than a hundred ladies and gentlemen partook. After the rep set the Mayor proposed the " Health of Mr George Tomline, M.P., the President of the A.seciation, with success to the British Arcbro'ilogical A.ssociati.m," and he thanked them for the honour they had done Colchester in visiting the town. Mr TOMLINE, in response, thanked the Corporation for +he hosphaihy they had displayed. Mr J. C, COBBOLD, M. P., then gave "the Health of the Mayor ;" and his worship having responded, Mr PETTIGREW enlarged upon the advantages derivable from these annual e9ni.7resses held in various parts of the kingdom, not the least of which was that they were brought into contact. with local societies ; and he begged to thank the Van. Lord Arthur Hervey, the President of the Suffolk In stitute of Arcbtoology, for the assistance and welcome he had given them. (Cheers.) Lord A. HERVEY returned thanks, and alluded to the very pleasant and interesting day they had spent in Col cheater, and proposed the healths of the gentlemen who had read papers. This toast was acknowledged by Mr HARTSHORNE and fir ROBERTS, and the health of Mr Poittibrew and of the ladies having been given, the company returned to Ipswich) where a meeting was held in the evening. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING RACES.—THuns The Reading Meeting has been 'popular for a consider able period among the members of the Metropolitan Circuit, and on the present anniversary there was no diminution in the general attendance, or in the character of the sport. Several very heavy special trains were despatched from the Paddington terminus, and, owing to the cheapness of the " excursion," the carriages were completely filled. Although, perhaps, the London element preponderated, there was a large muster of the rustic population, who, as tuna', en,ered fully into the varied entertainments brought together by the race meeting. The morning was beautifully fine, and the course was in far better condition than at any of the recent Sussex meetings, owing to the late rain and the facilities for irrigation from the Thames. The ring was completely occupied, many of the provincial bookmakers and professionale having arrived from Huntingdon and Wolverhampton. Racing commenced at half-past one, and was advertised to terminate at six o'clock, but owing to un avoidable delays in the conduct of business, it was a quarter of an hour after that time before the lest race was run off. In the opening contests Fordham's Goodwood luck was again in the ascendant, as he won five races in succession, inclusive of the Berkshire Stakes on Bally Edmond, that horse also being successful in the same handicap in 1861, when he was a three-yr•old. Singularly enough four of the races won by Fordham were head victories. Raglan was backed for a deal of money at " the lists," but the " turned loose" horse was struck out at 1.55, The subjoined return will sufficiently indicate the nature of the day's sport. The Easthampstead Park Stakes of 5 sovs each, 2ft, for three-yr-olds and upwards; winning penalties. One mile and a quarter. 10 subs. Mr Wodson's Deertoot, 4 yrs, Bst 101 b (J.

The pair cantered side by side for a quarter of a mile, after which Deerfoot came away, and won easily by three parts of a length. A Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for two and 3.yr-olds; the winner to be sold for 300 soya. T,Y,C, Three-quarters of a mile. 5 subs. Mr R. Ten Broeck's Idler, 3 yrs, Bst 91b (Fordham) 1 Capt. W.

After a delay at the post, occasioned principally by the refractory conduct of Rest, an admirable start was made, the lot running in a line stretched across the course for half the distance, when Rest took up the running, and with Lord of the Manor at her quarters the pair quitted their horses. Opposite the enclosure Rest appeared to have the issue in hand, but compounding at every s.ride, Ford• ham succeeded in his finishing rush, and landed " the old Lord" by a short head.

Wednesday's proceedings consisted of the sailing of the yachts belongine to the club, in divisions undfr flag officers, and the annual dinner at the Club-house in the evening. The dinner was a most successful affair, upwards of 90 members and their fr. ends having sat down. The toasts, after "the Queen," by the Commodore, and " the Prince the Princess of Wales and the Royal Family," by the Vice. Commodore, included "prosperity to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club," coupling with it the name of Commodore Thellusson, given by the Vice-Commodore, Lord Burghley. Commodore Thedusson, in responding, gave " prosperity to all other yacht clubs," coupling with it the names of Earl Vane and Mr A. Arcedeckne, the Commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. " The health of the secretary of the R. V. Y C., Capt. Mackinnon," was proposed in highly complimentary terms by Earl Vane. Yesterday's programme consisted of the race for The Ladies Plate, value £5O, given by the Ladies of Ryde. Open to all yachts belonging to R.V.Y.C. Time race, half Ackers's scale. Thames measurement. The following vessels were entered :—Matins, cutter, 65 tons, Mr J. C. Morice—Etnily, schooner, 60 tons, Mr E. B. Liebert—Albertine, schooner, 153 tons, Lord Londcsburough —Madcap, schooner, 74 tons, Mr J. 8. A. Dunbar—Vo lante, cutter, 60 tons, Mr Maudelay—Osprey, cutter, 50 tons, Mr F. S. Stanley— Vestal, schooner, 7-1 tons, Sir B. Chichester—Galatea, schooner, 131 tone, Mr T.Broadwood —and North Star, cutter, 2t tons, Mr. A. 11. Dendy. The allowance of time was—Marina to allow Albertine 2 min 42 sec; ditto Volaute 1 min 15 Nee; V olante to allow Albertine 1 min 25 sec. Course—from Hyde pier to the Nab lightvessel, thence to the West buoy of the middle, thence in to Itycla pier; twice round. Of the nine vessels entered only three started—the Ma rina, Albertine, and Volante. The start was effected at 10 a.m., with the wind light from the N N.E., with the tide flood and the commencement of th e course to the eastward. The Marina took a good lead, f o ll cwed by the schooner, with Volante last. The Noman Fort st ag i ng was passe d by the Marina at 10h 24m 20s, the Albertine at 10h 25m 40s, and the Volante at 10h 27tn 15e. in running past the Warner the Albertine and Volante lulled off, apparently playing with each other, a circumstance the Marina took advantage of by keeping a straight course for the Nab and increasing her lead. The breeze now freshened a trifle from he N E., and the Albertine and Volsnte made close after the Marina for the Nab. The breezy again fell, and when the three vessels were about half way between the Noman and the Nab they lay nearly becalmed for some time. At 20 minutes past 11 the Volante brought up a light breeze frk,m N. W. with her, and passed the Galatea, taking second place. By the aid of these light airs the Nab was at length reached, and the Volante was round first, although the Marina had been down there some minutes before her, but was jammed by the tide for want of wind. Jibing their booms over on their post quarters they rounded the light 2m 5s ; Marina , 1212 3m 18 a. vessel as follows : — Volante, llb 57m40, Galatea, 12h At 2 15 p.m. the three vessels had only reached to the w es tward as far as the middle of Stok e ' s-bay (about one halt the first round), the Volante being first, Galatea second, and Marin Marina last—about th re e - quarters of a m i le separat i ng the first vessel from th e last. The wind was then ver y li g h t , from about W.N.W. S o on afterward s t h e wind came i , n influence from one out of Cowes Roads , whil e the Vol ante and Alb ert i ne stood for the opposite shore. A dark li ne under t h e l ane standing eutsPBwB frG towardsmlB 0 1Y sborne und er th© every point of t h e compass, the near Eaglehnrst showed the true breeze, and this the two last named vessels caught at 3 15, smartish from NV.N.W., and at one . tacked and stood for the buoy of the middle, in a waney parallel astern. w th the land, th e Marina having nom been placed unfortunately , b y h er tack i n for Os b orne, a long Tha Volant e and Albertine kept the li breeze, which grew fresh un der the latu, and rounded the buoy thus :—Volante, 3h 43m ; Albertine, 3h 51, 3 e ; Marina, wti,lebuNtab, 4h Om 455. Coming up from the buoy for Ityde Roads, the yachts brought up with them quite a fresh wind froth tide in W.S.W., which ran them over the westgeing oapital style, and R 3 de pier head was pawed, and the first round completed by the Volante at 4h 31 m 37 a Albertine, 4h 33m 40s ; Marina, 4h 66, 228. Two minutes before passing the Albertine had the misfortune to carry away her jib-boom close to the bowsprit iron, de priving her of the services of her balloon-jib, to make up the Volante it kept up its as far as possible for which she set her f orestay sa ii an d a flying maiatopmast and staysail. The wi nd was veering strength t b h e t a w s etehne yachtsW . S.‘ir r . s n and o down for N passing the Noman 2m. 108 ahead of Albertine, and the Marina at the same time just completing h ar first round. The Nab was luffed round for the second and last time by the Volante, at sh. 22m. 20s. ; Albertine, sh. 20m. 7s. ; Marina, Oh. 48m. 355. The wind rather moderated as the yachts approached Spit head from the Nab, and as the rules of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club specify that an y race not completed by sun down must be considered null and void, and sailed over again another day, there was a probability that the race would not be brought to a conclusion yesterday if the wind should head the yachts or fall off in strength down the west, channel. At 6i5 p.m. the Albertine, with a temporary jibboom rigged out and jib set, was standin g down th roug h the western end of Stokes Bay. with the Volante a s h ort distance to windward. The race was now very close be tween the two, and it was impossible to say (making allow. ance for the time to be given by the Volante to the Alber tine) which had the best of it, the cutter or the schooner. The Marina was astern far enough to be considered quite out of the race. _ . _ The Albertine won tho Ladies Prize by lm.

Federal Barbarities in Virginia, The following letter has been addressed by ex- G3vernor Letcher, of Virginia, to the Mayor of Richmond : Lexington, Va., July 5. Finding that the Yankees would take the town on Saturday , the 11th, I left home near m id n i g ht, Friday night, and went to Big Island, in B:dford, where I remained till Wednesday morning follow ing, when, hearing the Vandals had left, I returned. I had previuu,ly heard that my house had been ourned with all its contents. The threats made by the Yankees against me for the past two years satis fied me that they would destroy my house when they came to Lexington, but I always supposed hat they would allow the furniture and my family's c,othing to be removed. In this, however, I was disappointed. When the Yankees took possession of the town, Dr. Paton, medical director for Hunter's army, and who hails from Manion county, Virginia, went• to my house, told my wife tie was unwell, and said he must have a room in the house. He took the room. supped and breakfasted, and, when breakfast was nearly over, remarked in a manner half jocular, half earnest, to Lizzie, that it was the last meal she would take in the house. Shortly after he lett, without taking leave of any of the family, nor was tie again seen by any of them. The threats made by soldiers on Saturday even ing indwed my wife to fear that the house would be burned, and she expressed her fears in the hear ing of Dr. Paton and Capt. Towns, of New York. Capt. Towns very promptly said that I, being a private citizen, and the house being private pro perty, burning it would be an inexcusable outrage, and proposed at once to go to Hunter's headquar ters and ascertain. He went, and was directed by Hunter to assure my wife that the house would not be disturbed. The sequel shows that the sole object of this assurance was to quiet her apprehensions, and thus prevent anything from being removed. About halt-past eight o'clock a.m. (Captain Berry and his provost guard rode up, and the officer called for my wife. She came to the door, when Berry informed her he was ordered by Hunter to fire the house. She replied there must be some mistake, and asked for the order. He said it was a verbal order. She then said to him, " Can it not be de layed until I can see General Hunter." "The order is peremptory," he replied, " and you have five minutes to leave the house." She then asked leave to remove her mother's, siater's, her own, and her sister's clothing, which was insolently refused. Immediately thereafter camphine was poured on the parlour floor, and ignited with a match. In the meantime my daughter had gathered up an arrnfu) of clothin..z, and was going out when he discovered her, ran forward,and fired the clothing in her arms. He then poured camphine in the wardrobes, bureau drawers, and ignited the clothing•—taking out my clothing, which he said he intended to take north. Every house on my lot was burned save a small granary over my icehouse. Not a particle of flour, meat, or anything edible was left, all flaying been carried off on Saturday. My mother, now in her 78th year, lives on the lot adjoining my own, having with her one of her grandchildren and servant. After my property had been fired the fiend§ fired her stable, located about r
